Saints Row 2

[phatmuther]

Didn't see any other solid threads on this.

What do people think then? I think its pretty bloody good so far, played about 4 hours worth, easy to get back into and alot of fun. Loving the fact that my guy is going around with an all out fake cockney accent :)

Good game innit. Especially when you're doing it co-op.

I love flying planes and parachuting out, always the best part of GTA:SA, and something which they missed out of GTA IV.

Few glitches, few minor hiccups, but better than GTA IV for me (they should be compared, before someone says not too).

[Glitch100]

Haven't bought this, could someone give me the goods on it please?

[scarecrow]

i think its great also.
at the moment am running around looking like frankenfurter from rocky horror. weilding a chainsaw. its might fun on co-op particularily when ya can still put the flasher mac on and flash the other player :). game is great fun

[WACCOE]

I put this womens thing on that's in lime green, makes me look like Borat.

Funny.

[RogueShadow]

im not sure whether to get this game can anyone help me out?:brow:

[phatmuther]

If you played and SR1 and liked it then you'll like this, bigger, more stuff to do and more fun. Its like a fun GTA, with extra fun.

[WACCOE]

Flying planes and parachuting out.

Modding cars.

FUN side missions.

Character customisation.

Proper co-op.

Makes GTA look ----.

[phatmuther]

Well I've completed the main story line, after you kill the 3 gangs there a 4th sorta. You have to kill of the megacorp Ultor, and some of their missions are right -------s. But yeah, better story than the first, much much more fun, I ----ing love the english voice you can have for your character, I emplore anyone starting the game to go with it, I just cant imagine the game being half as funny with an American voice.

just going round doing all the activities and collecting what not then Ill probably swap it for something else.

Has anyone else noticed that the radio news uses ITV news' jingle :)

[WACCOE]

I noticed that Phat, unbelieveable.

The Mix FM is ace.

What radio station's your favourite?

[phatmuther]

The Mix of course :)

Although all in all the radio is a bit disappointing, compared to the GTA's you hear the same songs in very quick succession, and it also seems to randomly cut songs for adverts.

But it is awesome when my cockney starts singing along to A-Ha :D

I'm quite enjoying the soundtrack, preferring it to GTA's, but I s'pose that's all about music preference.

[phatmuther]

Yeah, I've made my own radio playlist now anyway, then I flick through the others now and again to see if I hear anything else I like.

[Raisedbyflames]

i listen to the mix its awsome

generation x has some good stuff but theve lost the editors

[phatmuther]

Generation X changes its name to Ultor FM once you kill all the gangs, confused me the first time I saw it :D

[KoMPLeKz]

Love playing ranked Multi-Player, got the Hoodlum achievement yesterday for reaching 7 badges :)

[xX ZaKeRy Xx]

I was oing to get it, Is it good?

[phatmuther]

Where the sodding hell is this car?! One left on the chop shop, looking for the 'Mag' which is a pick that looks exactly like the other 4 pick ups in the game! Im in the right area, driving around for about 15 mins, I spot the symbol, see it go past then it disappears right in front of me! ARgghh!



EDIT: Got the silly Sausage, I rammed the fecker with a fire truck at full pelt. TAKE THAT -----

[HotFish]

I personally think it's better than GTA IV

Its a lot more fun...or silly?

[WACCOE]

It's better in every way possible.

[H34DSH0CK]

I thought GTA IV was boring.
I got up to the third island, and left it to gather dust for ages to come.
I'll probs sell it off, and buy SR2 with the funds :).
